CAUSE AND EFFECT


A representation of the causes and effects of network constraints. Resilient data management systems are essential in a degraded network environment with intermittent or unstable connectivity. (Graphic by the authors)


or whether, as data models increasingly serve as battlefield tools, their updates should be a function of acquisition. Tis must be solved to ensure the availability and integrity of our data.


Personnel is another necessary facet of the data infrastructure. Certainly, we need training, but we also need personnel, such as data engineers, who specialize in getting data from one place to another, responding to demand, and ensuring qual- ity and security.


Tis series began with the claim that “data is the new ammunition”—but it still doesn’t feel real in the way ammunition does. Data is not treated as fungible—the way a 9 mm round is a 9 mm round—so it’s often kept siloed as if there’s some- thing special about our data versus yours. Logistics implements equalizers—such


as how to answer the demand, the avail- ability and use of common data, and getting the trusted data we need from an outside source. If we get these right, we can treat data as a commodity, just like ammunition.
